Framed - daily film guessing game

It took me a shameful five. GF got it in one; I should have got it by at least three.

Framed #161

Second film I saw at the cinema.

Are you posting from the future, or much much younger than I thought?
 
Today's was an easy oner for me since there's not that many late 80s/early 90s noirish flicks with a protagonist called "Valiant". It's also probably one of my favourite scenes from the film because it packs a huge amount of back-story in to a simple pan around a room (a trick Zemeckis also used in the first scene in Back to the Future to excellent effect).

It won like a billion Oscars!

All the better for not hearing about it then, I gave up on the awards gumf an aeon ago ;) But from casting an eye on the page I'm the only person in the world not to have seen/heard of it.

I wasn't having a go at you for not having heard of it. If you haven't, you haven't. My (fairly insignificant) point was that it wasn't yet another example of a ridiculously obscure film.

There’s no doubt that awards are not the final word in quality filmmaking, but if you enjoy watching films, the nominee lists are worth your interest in so far as, nominated work is going to be high quality, regardless of whether it’s your kind of film or not. Quality isn’t the only important factor, and who actually wins is almost irrelevant. It’s also true that a nomination for acting or costume or sound design doesn’t mean the whole film is good. But so many films get released every year, that it’s a good way of keeping track.

Quick background introduction to a detective's former glory. Which means they aren't so glorious now. Yep I got it.
 
In two today. I've seen it at some point on telly and it apparently made something of an impression visually,(my first guess that I knew to be wrong - wrong shape of tree - was The Fountain) but a perfect example of an oscar winner that was pure "meh" IMHO. The trees and the mist was perhaps a giveaway that this was northern US/canadian border territory but I had a lot of time to think about it as it genuinely took me at least five minutes to remember the name of the bloody film.

Yes!!!!
I didn't actually recognise it though. Just tried to guess at what it might be.

Another film I thought was much better than I expected it to be. I do rather like himself. He seems to have grown up into something good.
